The column is square in section and close to black, with a rough surface that reads like broken stone and a plain foot at the bottom. Because the column takes almost no light, the colourless lion at its head is what the eye goes to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Clear Lion Seated High on Dark Stone-Like Fibreglass\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear figure on a very tall support has to be right from below, since that is where most people will see it from. The lion is therefore modelled with its weight sitting back and its chest lifted, and the curls of its mane are cut deep so that they throw shadow when light comes from overhead. It is polished all over, so the resin stays clear rather than grey. The column is fibreglass, worked to a rough, stony face in a near-black colour so that it reads as a plinth and not as part of the animal, and its head is shaped to take the lion's seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 186cm the lion is above eye level for most people, so it suits a large room, a landing or a double-height hall, where people look up to it from across the space. It is a floor piece that wants open space around its column. Light from above or behind the lion shows the curls best; a pale wall behind it keeps the near-black column from vanishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColumn Height, Finish and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. The price covers the lion and the column together. The lion can be frosted or tinted, and the column can be made in another dark colour, with a smoother face, or at another height. Other sizes of lion are cut to order. The two are crated together, the lion in its own fitted section and the column laid flat, and the column needs two people to stand it up. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA colourless lion seated high on a tall pillar belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lion-statues\"\u003elion statues\u003c\/a\u003e; curls cut deep for light from overhead lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and resin on a dark stone-like column joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.5 x 20.5 x 145cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin Lion on a Dark Fibreglass Column\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54263532781915,"sku":"R100","price":3849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R100.jpg?v=1791370817","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-seated-lion-on-a-dark-fibreglass-column-resin-sculpture-186cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
